## org.apache.catalina.session
Class StandardSession

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession

All Implemented Interfaces:
  javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, java.io.Serializable, Session

public class StandardSession
extends java.lang.Object
implements javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, Session, java.io.Serializable

Standard implementation of the Session interface. This object is serializable, so that it can be stored in persistent storage or transferred to a different JVM for distributable session support.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: An instance of this class represents both the internal (Session) and application level (HttpSession) view of the session. However, because the class itself is not declared public, Java logic outside of the `org.apache.catalina.session` package cannot cast an HttpSession view of this instance back to a Session view.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: If you add fields to this class, you must make sure that you carry them over in the read/writeObject methods so that this class is properly serialized.

Please note two sessions are only considered equal if they are "reference-equal." There is no equals() method implementation.

    `removeValue` in interface `javax.servlet.http.HttpSession`
  Parameters:
    `name` - Name of the object to remove from this session.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if this method is called on an invalidated session

### setAttribute

    public void setAttribute(java.lang.String name,
                             java.lang.Object value)

  Bind an object to this session, using the specified name. If an object of the same name is already bound to this session, the object is replaced.

  After this method executes, and if the object implements `HttpSessionBindingListener`, the container calls `valueBound()` on the object.

  Specified by:
    `setAttribute` in interface `javax.servlet.http.HttpSession`
  Parameters:
    `name` - Name to which the object is bound, cannot be null
    `value` - Object to be bound, cannot be null
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if an attempt is made to add a non-serializable object in an environment marked distributable.
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if this method is called on an invalidated session

### readObject

    protected void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream stream)
                       throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException,
                              java.io.IOException

  Read a serialized version of this session object from the specified object input stream.

  IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: The reference to the owning Manager is not restored by this method, and must be set explicitly.

  Parameters:
    `stream` - The input stream to read from
  Throws:
    `java.lang.ClassNotFoundException` - if an unknown class is specified
    `java.io.IOException` - if an input/output error occurs

### writeObject

    protected void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream stream)
                        throws java.io.IOException

  Write a serialized version of this session object to the specified object output stream.

  IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: The owning Manager will not be stored in the serialized representation of this Session. After calling `readObject()`, you must set the associated Manager explicitly.

  IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: Any attribute that is not Serializable will be unbound from the session, with appropriate actions if it implements HttpSessionBindingListener. If you do not want any such attributes, be sure the `distributable` property of the associated Manager is set to `true`.

  Parameters:
    `stream` - The output stream to write to
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an input/output error occurs

### exclude

    protected boolean exclude(java.lang.String name)

  Exclude attribute that cannot be serialized.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the attribute's name

### evaluateIfValid

    protected void evaluateIfValid()

### fireContainerEvent

    protected void fireContainerEvent(Context context,
                                      java.lang.String type,
                                      java.lang.Object data)
                               throws java.lang.Exception

  Fire container events if the Context implementation is the `org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext`.

  Parameters:
    `context` - Context for which to fire events
    `type` - Event type
    `data` - Event data
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - occurred during event firing

### fireSessionEvent

    public void fireSessionEvent(java.lang.String type,
                                 java.lang.Object data)

  Notify all session event listeners that a particular event has occurred for this Session. The default implementation performs this notification synchronously using the calling thread.

  Parameters:
    `type` - Event type
    `data` - Event data

### keys

    protected java.lang.String[] keys()

  Return the names of all currently defined session attributes as an array of Strings. If there are no defined attributes, a zero-length array is returned.

### getAttributeInternal

    protected java.lang.Object getAttributeInternal(java.lang.String name)

  Return the value of an attribute without a check for validity.

### removeAttributeInternal

    protected void removeAttributeInternal(java.lang.String name,
                                           boolean notify)

  Remove the object bound with the specified name from this session. If the session does not have an object bound with this name, this method does nothing.

  After this method executes, and if the object implements `HttpSessionBindingListener`, the container calls `valueUnbound()` on the object.

  Parameters:
    `name` - Name of the object to remove from this session.
    `notify` - Should we notify interested listeners that this attribute is being removed?

### log

    protected void log(java.lang.String message)

  Log a message on the Logger associated with our Manager (if any).

  Parameters:
    `message` - Message to be logged

### log

    protected void log(java.lang.String message,
                       java.lang.Throwable throwable)

  Log a message on the Logger associated with our Manager (if any).

  Parameters:
    `message` - Message to be logged
    `throwable` - Associated exception
